	She had gladly exchanged her contact info with Elijah several minutes earlier, and during the firefight she witnessed his awesome biotic ability. [i][color=02fc5e]Well this mercenary hotshot might not be so bad after all...[/color][/i] Lokea thought to herself as she covered Drex. A few more exchanges of fire later, she asked her question to the Geth platform. Hearing that answer, she was satisfied with it. She was a little surprised that this geth can speak their language, so she may as well keep up the conversation if she can. Speaking to the platform, gave it a thumbs up. [color=02fc5e]"Good to know. Keep up the pressure on them, we could use someone of your talents."[/color] Lokea noted before a well-placed shot from a particularly nasty Turian sniper dropped her shields. Immediately taking cover and casting [i]barrier,[/i] Lokea kept a light focus on herself to retain her safety while her shields slowly recharged, remaining in the fight.

	Once she heard Galm, she looked around to find out where he was, before getting eyes on him. She spoke into the radio. [color=02fc5e]"Copy that unknown friendly party. I'll do the best I can."[/color] She focused her fire towards enemies that were closer to Galm while he worked his turret. She continued the covering fire until he was done, pausing every now and then to keep herself covered. She witnessed Drex use his inferno grenades on the enemy, seeing a large explosion spreading fire along the enemy front line, and witnessing him smash a few mercs with his hammer. [color=02fc5e][i]Damn.[/i][/color] She was already impressed with the abilities of this barely cohesive unit, not seeing the heavy unit that Pixy sniped just now. [color=02fc5e][i]Okay, I take that back.[/i][/color] She thought as she kept some more mercs off of Galm. She had listened to Ashton earlier, but she was a little busy trying to cover some of the units ahead of her. Thankfully, the Blue Suns were a bit too busy to deal with the team in the front to deal with anyone that was in the control offices, so Lokea didn't have to worry about any incoming fire anymore. She kept up the pressure, firing a few shots towards the enemy to keep them suppressed and away from the others, using two-round bursts to down the lightly armored foes, or at least keep them down. Once the Blue Suns advance had halted and started dying down, she lowered her weapon and listened in on the friendly transmissions.

	Hearing the geth's suggestion, she spoke to the Geth platform. [color=02fc5e]"I like the suggestion you brought up. I don't have the tech necessary to pull that off but... I know someone that does."[/color] She says, turning to Ashton with a thumbs-up, before turning back to the platform. [color=02fc5e]"By the way, what do I call you? 'Geth' is a really impractical name to address you as so... I feel like we can give you a callsign that can make things easier for all of us, or at least me."[/color] Lokea chortled. Once Alexis brought up her concern for the kids, Lokea turned to the two boys in question and spoke into the comms. [color=02fc5e]"Affirmative, the kids don't even have a scratch. You can rest easy now."[/color] She said, her smile hidden by her helmet. She took a look out into the battlefield once more. She noticed the Blue Suns fall back slowly, and since the gunfire towards her position sort of stopped, she stood a little more freely, stretching a little. After hearing what Pixy said about their retreat, she spoke into the comms again. [color=02fc5e]"Copy that uh... White Glint. To all friendly parties that we just met, name's Lokea. I'm the green-skinned asari-"[/color] She cut herself off, realizing that she was wearing armor that covered her entire body head to toe. [color=02fc5e]"-outfitted in camouflage armor. I'm in the control offices near the geth. Pleasure to meet you all."[/color] She got off the comms for the time being. [color=02fc5e][i]Speaking of...[/i][/color] she looked back to the geth platform. She tried to think of a name, searching through her blurry but still coherent planted memories. She wanted something that started with G like the word [i]Geth[/i], finding the name Gideon. Further recollection on that name revealed that it was the name of a colonist's son, the name having been ripped straight from the bible. The character was a tactician who was victorious in some historical battle of some sort, so she figured it may be appropriate for this rather tactical platform. [color=02fc5e]"Do you like the name Gideon?"[/color] Lokea asked.

	As everything died down a little, Lokea set up the fort a bit more. She made some more cover from the walls and desks to accommodate for some of the newcomers, before looking to the Geth. [color=02fc5e]"You can come in here if you like, just stick around near the windows where I can see you."[/color] Lokea said softly. While the the platform didn't seem [i]too[/i] bad, her flashbacks to Feros makes her distrust it somewhat. Having seen the geth massacre civilians in the memories planted within her, she didn't have any qualms of using her Slam ability to crush this geth platform into scrap. But Alexis did bring up a point earlier, from the comm chatter there did seem to be a whole lot of distrust between everyone. She did see the batarian have a hostile attitude earlier, and you got some Ex-Cerberus bitch providing sniper fire for folks. At this point the only thing bringing them together was Saris and the Blue Suns attack. She hoped that at least half of the people hired are reasonable individuals, but if push comes to shove, she's not going to let anyone hurt the kids, Saris be damned.

	Meanwhile, she unpressurized her helmet and took it off, revealing her very green asari nature to the newcomers. She decided to keep it off for the time being, but she kept it near Ashton and Flame, swapping it out with some snacks using biotic levitation. She popped some high-calorie crackers, chewing on them. [color=02fc5e]"How are you boys doing?"[/color] She asked Ashton and Flame, levitating the chips into her mouth while she carried her assault rifle with both hands. Biotics are great for combat, but for lazy multitasking? They are even [i]better.[/i]
